What I think is the most damning thing is that Nike made a commercial about this at all, since it exposes this whole apologetic comeback as a public relations charade
There's not too much authentic about Tiger as a person, but what's left of a guy when he pimps so many products and must fit the right public image at all times? His dalliances at least proved he's not a robot and had the gonads to go off script.
Now he reminds me of a neutered Charles Barkley or Larry Bird --- or a stupid Michael Jordan, who like Tiger was in the public spotlight only as an athlete and corporate spokesman.
Barkley and Bird never had to go into hiding.
Magic Johnson arguably kept things the most "real," because he was so naturally gregarious and un-guilefully emotional while also being a pitchman and sports superstar. And he was an unabashed womanizer, too.
